What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Exercise can act as a disease-modifying agent in Parkinson's disease (PD), and we have previously demonstrated that voluntary exercise in running wheels during 2 weeks normalizes striatopallidal dopaminergic signaling and prevents the development of L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia (LID) in C57BL/6 mice. We now tested whether LID in Swiss albino mice could be attenuated by treadmill-controlled exercise alone or in combination with the reference antidyskinetic drug amantadine. The daily intraperitoneal (i.p.) treatment with three different doses of L-DOPA/benserazide (30/12.5, 50/25, or 70/35 mg/kg) during 3 weeks induced increasing levels of LID scores in hemiparkinsonian Swiss albino mice previously lesioned with a unilateral intrastriatal injection of 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA, 10 μg). Then, we addressed the antidyskinetic effects of treadmill-controlled exercise by comparing LID, induced by L-DOPA/benserazide (50/25 mg/kg, i.p.) during 4 weeks, in sedentary and daily exercised mice. Exercise reduced LID and improved motor skills of dyskinetic mice, as indicated by decreased contralateral bias, increase in maximal load test, and latency to fall in rotarod. The antidyskinetic effect of amantadine (60 mg/kg, i.p.) was only observed in sedentary mice, indicating the absence of synergistic antidyskinetic effect of the combination of treadmill exercise plus amantadine. Finally, Western blot analysis unraveled an ability of exercise to increase the striatal immunocontent of glial cell-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), apart from normalizing striatal levels of tyrosine hydroxylase. These findings show that controlled treadmill exercise attenuates LID and provide the first indication that the antidyskinetic effects of treadmill exercise may involve increased striatal GDNF levels.
